Is Somerset Hardwood Flooring recommended for kitchens?
The kitchen is one of the most popular rooms in the home for a hardwood floor. Somerset now offers hardwood flooring in 1/2″ thick, 7-ply engineered construction that offers greater stability than solid hardwood flooring in areas that are prone to spills, moisture, etc. However, as the kitchen tends to be the highest traffic area in most homes, it is recommended that you use non-rubber backed mats in front of the sink, refrigerator, and stove (pivot points). Any spills should be wiped dry as soon as possible. Chair legs should have felt tipped glides, and the felt should be maintained to avoid damaging your floor.
